my brother has been charged for a murder he was framed for.

Customer Question

he was railroaded by his...

my brother has been charged for a murder he was framed for. he was railroaded by his attorney,city of pittsburgh's homcide detective,the da, as well as the person who shot him.the man who shot him was not arrested for shooting him. how do i go about filing charges against those involved in this case?

Unfortunately, it sounds like you have quite an uphill battle. In order to have those who lied charged with any sort of crime, you’d need to not only prove that your brother is innocent, but that the parties involved maliciously framed him. If you can prove that, then I suggest that you talk to the Federal authorities in your area since it’s very possible that such a framing would be a violation of Federal civil rights laws.
